Savoring, thinking, relishing, cherishing, celebrating, educating, appreciating, focusing, meditating, learning, leading - this is how Rajiv approaches objects and the creative process of making beauty for himself and others. What a lovely way to approach life as a personal work of art.
You are so beautiful! I love your face and hair and your temperament. Also thank you for knowing SOOO much about how to do everything so well! And then sharing it with us ❤. You’re dreamy (your partner whomever that is is very lucky!!😂
I know hoarders who have nice old apartments. I wish I could inspire them with this set of values. Rajiv clearly loves "stuff", but he doesn't mindlessly accumulate without any idea about where a thing will go or what function it will fulfill. He's so deeply, thoughtfully appreciative.
I have to tell you that your sentiments speak to me so deeply - and I absolutely love your philosophy about home. I create mosaic crochet and crochet blankets for my friends and family to keep - the blanket that was made for you from your Mother and your Grandmother's sari's is soooo beautiful. Delighted to have discovered your channel. Thank you - with best wishes from Scotland, UK
I love the art stores - I can spend hours. I have learned to control the urge to buy everything I want coz art supplies are quite expensive now. But I agree on the quality ❤
As a professional watercolorist and art teacher I agree with everything you shared. So many people buy crappy watercolor supplies and blame their lack of skill when their supplies let them down. If money is tight, Princeton brushes and Van Gogh paint will work fine, but I can't deny that Winsor and Newton (not Cotman) paint and Isabey 100% squirrel brushes are wonderful. If I could marry a paper it would be Arches cold press. Buy a giant 22" x 30" sheets and cut it down or purchase a pad. The blocks are overpriced, especially since the glue on the sides routinely crack and the paper detaches from the cardboard. This only became a problem when Canson bought the company.
I so enjoyed seeing your tiny kitchen and the look of joy on your face. It's such a small space, and you have so much in it, but by some magic it doesn't look cluttered or fussy. Beautiful job. Well done.
Yes, I could spend the whole day at such stores. Thanks for bringing us along. Who knew the mat or brush section could be so interesting ?! Well done for pronouncing Schmincke correctly! 🇩🇪 Mr Schmincke was one of the founders, and Mr Horadam formulated many of the paints back in the 1900s, giving his name to the professional line of paints. Knowing your love for hand made items, you should check out Rosemary & Co brushes, handmade by a family led company in Yorkshire. Would you consider visiting TALAS in Morgan Av. In Brooklyn? They carry bookbinding supplies and papers, which i think you might like. 0:52 I have this Cavallini poster in my studio, as well as the onewith thesystem of colours. 😍
wait what ? i've just subscribed after binging on your videos lately, and even though I have seen "Mean Girls" way more times than I can count, I never realised it was you x) I'm so happy that you add value to this aspect of my life that I love so deeply : journaling and paper/writing/painting and anything creative. I am 31 now and I got my first journal on my 9th birthday. I can say without a doubt that it NEVER let me down. Never ever. It has been such a journey, and I recommend it to anyone ♥ This channel is a gem. Can't wait to catch up on your videos and see what's next/ Lots of love from France ♥
I was spectating that a guy like him, would drink his coffee in a real porcelain cup, and not in a kid's cup (paper cup). Also, let's not forget how bad, all this non recycle wasted, is for the planet.
Rajiv, we are birds of a feather! I could spend HOURS in those stores as well, to the point I've earned a bit of a nick-name that wouldn't be polite to speak in mixed company lol.
Thank you so much. I’ve always wanted to know how to whiten my tea shirts. Also, the video was beautiful and relaxing to watch. I just found your channel and absolutely love it.
Beautiful. Especially the eucalyptus addition ❤ than you. I’ll check out your towels, too. We’re moving now but will surely start with fresh towels & sheets.
